Full details
The Brompton Gear Cable Anchorage (Part #9011070) is an essential maintenance component designed specifically for owners of Brompton folding bikes equipped with Sturmey Archer internal hub gears. It provides a secure, precise connection point for your gear cable, ensuring reliable indexing and smooth shifting across 3-, 5-, and 6-speed configurations.

FAQs
Is this part compatible with non-Sturmey Archer hubs?

Do I need special tools to install this?
You will need a standard set of hex keys or wrenches appropriate for the bolt type, as well as cable cutters if replacing the cable.

It is not a part that needs scheduled replacement, but it should be changed if you notice signs of wear, deformation, or if the bolt threads are damaged.

Troubleshooting
Gears are skipping or not engaging
Check the cable tension at the anchorage and adjust the barrel adjuster on the shifter until the indicator chain is correctly positioned.
Anchorage bolt keeps slipping
Ensure the cable is not frayed and the anchorage bolt is tightened firmly; if the threads are stripped, replace the anchorage unit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures accurate gear indexing for Sturmey Archer hubs
- Direct OEM replacement for factory-installed parts
- High-quality material designed for longevity under tension

Cons
- Requires mechanical knowledge to install and calibrate correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this anchorage, ensure your gear shifter is set to the lowest gear position to provide maximum cable slack. Carefully thread the gear cable through the anchorage and tighten the bolt once the cable is taut and properly seated in the hub gear mechanism.
Compatibility: This part is compatible with all Brompton bicycles using Sturmey Archer internal hub gears (3, 5, and 6-speed models).
Care: To extend the life of this component, keep the cable clean and lightly lubricated. Periodically check the bolt tightness to ensure that vibration during cycling has not caused it to loosen. If you notice signs of corrosion or fraying of the cable at the point of contact, replace the anchorage and cable simultaneously to ensure safety.
